March thread.
This post updated 01 June
MrsG returned on the 25th of March and was joined by Aran on the 29th.
(The beginning of the reunion video is a must-see for all fans of MrsG - I'm posting it today 01 June, to remind us of a happy time before the tragedies of May 2021.)
The month of May brought unrelenting wind, rain and corvids, as well as persistent intruder KS8 (among others) - and Aran somehow injured his right wing, rendering him unable to fish. Within a few days all the chicks had sickened and died. It could hardly have been more stressful for MrsG and Aran, but they are recovering together while the caring Glaslyn team is supplying fish each night.
(The chicks' bodies have been removed from the nest by Aran and MrsG, so we shall never know the cause of their deaths.)
In the right margin of this page are links to Glaslyn's posts documenting the misfortunes on the nest.

I've no idea what happened at Glaslyn on the 23rd, but here are some snaps after my very late start.
Some serious mowing had to be done:
MrsG got very wet and looked displeased - surprise, surprise
Aran was out on his tree, here he was flying off - downwards, he went, as if diving, almost:
I missed the late evening because (altho I'd seen PATILY say "it's good to see the cam back to normal" or similar) I wasn't sure it would keep going and didn't want to get flooded with dupes. Anyway, I've just set it off now - the critters are restless tonight, or so it sounds.
Good to see the two together in this early morning view.
